Postdoctoral / Reservoir Engineer position: THM-coupled reservoir modeling
80%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term
The ETH Zürich Geothermal Energy & Geofluids (GEG) Group investigates subsurface reactive fluid and geothermal energy transfer by developing and employing computer simulations, laboratory experiments, and field analyses. Our aim is to gain fundamental insights and develop sustainable technologies to address societal needs. Fluid injection or production induces changes in subsurface reservoir properties due to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled processes. Advancing the understanding of these processes enables the development of subsurface energy and storage technologies and monitoring technologies thereof (e.g. seismicity and gravity monitoring). For example, CO2-Plume Geothermal (co-invented by Prof. Saar), turns CCS into CCUS by extracting geothermal energy from the CO2 while geologically sequestering all injected CO2. To invent and improve such subsurface technologies and associated monitoring solutions, the GEG group is offering a postdoctoral / reservoir engineering position.
Job description
We invite applicants with a background in compositional reservoir modeling of THM-coupled processes. The goal of this position is to develop detailed THM-coupled numerical models, be it for efficient field development strategies or improving monitoring technologies, by quantifying the relationships between THM-coupled responses and measurable variations in geophysical quantities (e.g. seismic velocity, gravity). Leveraging your expertise and modeling insights, your innovative thinking extends the state-of-the-art of geothermal energy production and CO2 / H2 storage technologies.
Profile
We seek a highly motivated and self-organized individual with a PhD or equivalent industry experience in the topic of Geoscience, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field, with a proven track record in modeling THM-coupled processes. Successful candidates will have:
